THANK YOU RUNNERS AND VOLUNTEERS  --  YOU MADE THIS A GREAT RUN!

    When we saw the weather forecast Friday night, we almost cried.  We had been through 2 weeks of rain with only intermittent periods of sunshine.  Our trail volunteers, Lynn Golemon and Rosie Rollins, reported that the creeks were up a little and that the trails were really muddy.  A large portion of Ruritan Park was too soggy to be used for camping AND ThE WEATHERMEN WERE CALLING FOR SHOWERS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING.  Fortunately, the weather folks were wrong.

    Our Friday night registration mixer was a big success.  Over 55 runners snacked on trays of fruit, veggies, cheeses and sandwich wraps.  Several runners camped at the Capon Valley Ruritan grounds and were treated to a beautiful evening with a full moon.

    Registration resumed at 5:30 AM on Saturday morning with a light fog hanging over the valley.  The runners congregated in the Ruritan building for a high-carb breakfast and promptly began their 31.5 mile trek at 7:00 AM.  140 of our 158 registered runners started the race.  Due to the trail conditions and a hot and humid afternoon, only 126 of them finished.  Karsten Brown of Front Royal, VA was the first man across the finish line (last year he came in third) with a time of 4:05:23.  He was followed by Matt Woods at 4:12:54 and Sean Andrish at 4:22:10.  The first woman to cross was Sophie Speidel at 5:20:03. 

Karsten Brown crosses the finish line.

Sophie Speidel is first woman.

    After the race, Race Director, Robin conducted a drawing for the 5 grand prizes, $100 VISA gift certificates.  The winners were Jeff Holdaway, Stephen Dobson, Heather Schaffer, Brett Welborn, and Bill Susa.  The top 25 finishers also chose prizes from a variety of locally made arts and crafts and baked goods.  
 
    We want to extend our THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS – YOU WERE TERRIFIC AS USUAL!!  A special thanks to Helen Zulauf and the kitchen volunteers who came in at 4AM to prepare breakfast!

Robin and Carol
